    As a father and a husband—I’m only interested in the health, comfort and safety of my wife during childbirth. Those are the bottom lines. However we get there to a safe birth for both mom and baby is all that matters. Health misinformation does us all so much damage.

    Using the prone position is a highly useful strategy in COVID-19 therapy. Good friend @airwaycam is now ramping up to supply these positioning aids. visit them at prone2help.org and register. @FLTDOC1 @kovacsgj @jameshorowitzmd @EMSwami @emcrit @DrJeffJarvis @ketaminh

    Our lives are not owned—they are leased. You discovered this 20 years earlier than most people. It’s a gift.
